The morning sun rose gently over the vast plains of Galana Kulalu, casting golden light on acres of quiet, thirsty land. For years, the farmers here had waited — waited for rain, waited for power, waited for the promise of transformation. Their irrigation pumps sputtered on diesel, their harvests depending on chance and fuel prices. Yet deep in the heart of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, a plan was already taking root, a plan that would change everything.

Parliamentary staff have been urged to embrace a culture of physical and mental wellness to enhance productivity and overall performance at work.

Speaking this Friday during the official launch of the Parliamentary Sports event at Ulinzi Sports Complex, the Clerk of the Senate and Secretary to the Parliamentary Service Commission, Mr. Jeremiah Nyegenye, highlighted the importance of fitness and emotional well-being in the workplace.

“We want to entrench a culture of physical and mental wellness among Parliamentary staff,” said Mr Nyegenye.
